Jeremiah 23:9-31
Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness. 10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. 11 For both prophet and…
Nehemiah 6, Opposition
I want to continue our study through the book of Nehemiah, and if you would turn with me to the book of Nehemiah, and we want to pick it up again at chapter 6 of Nehemiah. One of the difficult things in life is we are always in a spiritual battle. Not only in a spiritual battle, but there’s difficulties as we see things that happen, like what happened in Texas this last weekend, just two days ago. And sometimes…
Jeremiah 23:1-9, Pastors and Leaders
Jeremiah chapter 23. Jeremiah has been speaking to Zedekiah and bringing to his remembrance his three brothers and nephew, and how they did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and how that God judged them for it, and the judgments that he brought against them. And now Zedekiah is doing the same thing. But Jeremiah also realizes that there’s not only the problem of the kings of Judah setting a bad example and leading the people…
Seeking the God Who Is—Not the One We’ve Made
God has given Jeremiah and told him to use various examples of objects that are to explain God’s relationship with Israel and Israel’s lack of a relationship with God. Last Wednesday, we looked at the fact that God is the sovereign potter. He told Jeremiah to go down and look at a potter and observe the potter and what the potter did with the clay and how the potter could mold the clay and take a lump that was unseemly…
The Bride Awaits
This powerful message unveils the deep connection between the bride waiting for her groom and the Church awaiting the return of Christ. With fresh insight and biblical clarity, you’ll see Scripture come alive in a whole new way—and be reminded of the urgency, hope, and joy found in preparing for the Jesus Christ’s return. Ephesians 5:22-26 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ…
Jeremiah 18, A Call to Repentance
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.…
Nehemiah 3, What Is Your Calling?
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. 2 And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 3 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 8
Book of Jeremiah, chapter 14. We’re going to look at that this evening. We’re continuing to study the prophet Jeremiah who is called by God to speak to Israel and warn them during the reigns of Josiah’s son, during the end of Josiah’s reign actually, and then during the reign of Josiah’s son. When Josiah’s sons came to rule, remember they were not their father. They did not love the Lord. They did not follow and do what the Lord’s…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 7
Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there…
Calling Men to Come to Him, Neh 1:1-11; Neh 2:1-10
The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 6
Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 3 But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward…
